Medics with the city’s Emergency Medical Services will soon be closer to the FDNY and NYPD’s level of training when it comes to handling hazardous materials, The Post has learned.

EMTs and paramedics are being fitted for bunker gear in preparation for 16 hours of training this summer involving chemical spills and terrorism.

“In the past, EMTs and paramedics were trained to ‘the awareness level,’ in essence . . . to recognize a situation and run away from it,” said Patrick Bahnken, president of the Uniformed EMTs and Paramedics.

“This [new] training will enable us to save more lives should a large-scale hazardous-material or terrorist incident involving chemical weapons occur.”
